I am on Xubuntu (16.04, btw) however
lsb_release -a
gives me:
user@host:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
Should it display Xubuntu
, or is this legit output?
And if it is, how can I (by the CLI) know the exact Ubuntu distro I'm on?
And what does the warning No LSB modules are available.
mean anyway?
(It is output to *stderr*:
user@host:~$ lsb_release -a >/dev/null
No LSB modules are available.
so I'm guessing in nominal case it shouldn't be there)
